AR-15 BS Thread

Starting my build:
JD Machine stripped lower - $109
Palmetto state LPK w/ Magpul MOE grip and trigger guard - $53
Palmetto engraved ejection port cover - $20 (gotta have some bling)

Planned parts:
Magpul CTR stock

I'm still debating between a full CMMG upper or upper assemblies (minus bcg, ch, and hg) from BCM or LMT. Any thoughts?

 

I like CMMG BUT if BCM or LMT is an option then that's the answer.

 

Forgot to add:
CMMG: $610 shipped
LMT: $430 + BCG, CH, HG (about $182) = $612 + shipping or $620 for complete upper w/ plain handguards
BCM: $489 + BCG, CH, HG (about $182) = $671 + shipping

BCG = LMT full auto, CH = BCM gunfighter mod 4, HG = Magpul

 

BCM is $399

Man, that's a hell of a deal.

 

Here is me playing with mine at a Virginia Tech AMU shoot a few months ago. I like the operator2 because of the 50/50 handguard up front and the fact that it comes loaded for less than BCM and the others. It is a great gun for those that want something kinda sporty but don't shoot as often as they would like.

complete LMT upper for $595. use code "arfcom" for another 5% off

 

Thanks for the link!

Final build...

Now comes the waiting game!

Next up:
ARP 16" 6.8 x 43 upper w/ scope (TBD).

 

Now you guys are speaking my lanuage. Well this is just my opinion but I think you should reconsider the brands and go with Yankee Hill Machine they are known for their quality and quadrails. just take a look at them you wont be sorry. you get what you pay for when it comes to firearms.

 

Local company - made in San Diego about 5 mi from where I bought the lower
Mil contractor for lowers and uppers iirc (although current owner just plead out to bribery or something to get mil contracts)
Been in business for a while - prev called Kaiser Defense
$109 + deros and tax.

Local FFL wants $50 to receive weapons (other shops won't even consider accepting big-bad-black-rifle stripper lowers) and still has to charge state tax. So going with the JD lower was cheaper then going with the PSA lower. The other lower I was considering was a spikes but the nearest place is a bit of a drive and the lower was on sale @ $99 - the drive made it more expensive than the JD.

 

This is basic black rifle, paper puncher, possibly home defense if I need it. Unless the Zombie apocolypse actually happens I dont really have a need for VFG's, lasers, expensive optics, etc (as a nurse I still easily qualified with an ancient M16-A2 so iron sights are gtg for me). I originally wanted a carry handle but the cheapest was spikes for $80+ so I went with the Magpul gen2 buis (plus it matches my 15-22 rear sight). I might want to add a light later if I really start to use it for home defense, otherwise the 1911 is my home go-to-gun (well populated area - hate to think of who would get hit from a high-power rifle shot).

The 6.8 is going to be for hog hunting so again, no real reason for quad rails except for maybe free float and bipod attachment. But yeah, I agree YHM makes some quality stuff!

For me tacticool = expensive uneeded stuff (for the most part). Although I do have a primary arms M4 rds on my 15-22.

 

THAT WAS THE CHEAPEST ONE IN THE SHOP! The Spikes, S&W, and Stag were all over $150 and thats before tax and DEROS.

Ask what we pay for 10rd limited mags...

I GOTTA move outta Cali!

 

That 6.8 seems a little light for a big sow when she's mad though it would be good for the coyotes we've seeing around here.

 

5.56 will take a hog down no problem.

you and your fathers day sale and you being local to PSA and all

I would have bought 3 from them If I could have gottem them all at 50 bucks each!

then I could have two 5.56 and a .22

 

You need to check out the 6.8forums.

Back in HI we used to go out w/ dog and knife. Lots of guys had Mini-14s and 30 carbines. Not sure how the 6.8 compares to the carbine though.

 

I have a Rock River... love it.

Will post pictures later.

 

offically apart of the ar family.... gotta killer deal on a LWRC 556 AR piston driven system....
